There is nothing to be a shamed of no mater how much hair she have. she is still a little girl at the end of the day. she needs to get a education which grandma over there doesn’t have one yet. she has been taught that its all about beauty ,and that she is not good enough and she needs to alter herself to be beautiful. i pray for her god bless her.

No one should be putting a weave childs head and slathering their faces with make up even if it is a paegent. My daughters (who are adults now) went natural this year and now they both regret ever getting perms.

You should also consider that the damage could be cumulative. That is, he maybe your hair began to break later as a result of the history of treatment given to your hair. Either way, an exception does not disprove the rule. The bottom line: the Creator did not screw up when he/she/it created black folks’ hair.

Why compete in a contest that his based on standards that say we are naturally deficient. (Actually, no one should have their daughters participate is anything that teaches her that her physical appearance is her greatest attribute.)

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 02:10:31 +0000http://www.afrobella.com/?p=3535#comment-853805Unfortunately, this “self-loathing” is deeply imbedded in the culture of African America. It’s more shocking to watch this indoctrination in process especially with a three-year old child. When adults do it, it is no less an example of “self-loathing.” In fact, Grandma is passing down what had been instilled in her. We need some serious re-education.

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 00:00:14 +0000http://www.afrobella.com/?p=3535#comment-852854I agree that it is up to the parent to decide. But I must voice my opinion and say this really disturbs me. If a pageant requires that 3 year olds wear all that make up and fake hair then that pageant isn’t for me and in my opinion shouldn’t be for anyone. These little girls should be judged on their talent and natural beauty. What message is this sending to these babies? And these girls aren’t in these pageants because they want to be. They are doing it because their parents want them to.

My daughters dance and my youngest is in the competing company. At competition they have to wear make up etc but our dance school keeps it age appropriate. It doesn’t matter what the other schools are wearing. If they can’t be judged on their talent and skill then the girls have no need to be there. Yeah, they wear costumes, heavy make up and even those (gulp) fake pony tails. But they keep it age appropriate (the younger ones don’t wear the pony tails and none of them wear risque costumes). And my daughters have natural hair and no one has required that I press or do anything to their hair as long as I can get it in a neat dancers bun.

I have a REAL problem with taking things to this extreme with a 3 year old. But I have a problem with this industry when it comes to younger girls.

There is no way that this girl at the age of 3 should feeling like she is pretty because she has long weave in her hair. It can cost serious damage to her hair (speakingfromsomeonewhoithappento). Nd I feel for this little girl.
